A Pachica is a rhythm instrument similar to a maraca and castanets combined. You can not only keep rhythm, but also play with acrobatic techniques by spinning it around, throwing it in the air and catching it. 【Difference between Pachica and Asalato】 The main difference is the sound. Asalato uses the shells of nuts for the body, while Pachica uses plastic. Therefore, Asalato has a sound that emphasizes the mid-range tones. On the other hand, Pachica emphasizes high-pitched tones. If you prefer a rounded sound, Asalato is recommended, and if you prefer a sharp and crisp sound, Pachica is recommended. Pachica has the advantage of being less likely to be buried in the sound of other instruments because it emphasizes high-pitched tones. There is almost no difference in ease of playing. Pachica feels a little easier to grip. 【Product Details】 Set of 2. Brand new, unused. Diameter of the ball: 5 cm Weight: Approximately 30g Distance between the ball and the string: 10 cm - 13 cm
